Chapter 76 News about 800 million
Blue is the sea, the sky, and the clear glass mirror. Lilith's eyes are the collection of all blues. Under the sunlight, her eyes have a light glass texture, like the sapphires on the queen's crown.
But when she looked at people with her back to the light, her eyes were like an endless deep sea, oppressive, suffocating, and unfathomable.
Fu Sui saw that this was Lilith. Her bad temper and arrogance were all just disguises. Only now did Lilith reveal her true colors.
She was examining whether what Fu Sui said was of any value. She was the one who was being held responsible, but she acted in a condescending manner.
"You know that the underground auction house is a Federation stronghold. You knew it the last time you went there."
"That's right."
Fu Sui simply admitted it.
"But you didn't get the information you wanted, or you wouldn't want to cooperate with me."
"Yes, Claire is very wary. Unless I give up everything and become a plaything at the auction house, I'm afraid I still can't access core secrets. If I want to know the secrets of the Federation, I can only choose to join the Far March Army."
Lilith realized that this was a unique opportunity. She was already on the edge of danger and didn't mind taking another risk.
Fu Sui and Xie Huan both care about H001 very much, which means they both want something from her. Wanting something means benefit, and benefit means temporary trust.
"I heard from Xie Huan that you also want to join the Far March Army in order to leave the Central Star, right? After all, the Guide has no other way to leave except to join the army."
"The Far March Army is just a backup option. Since you know I have a bomb in my heart, I won't hide it from you. This bomb was planted when I was born, and there are only 23 hours left."
Lilith said lightly, and Fu Sui just frowned and thought.
"23 hours, wouldn't that be midnight on the 31st? We don't have time."
Fu Sui suddenly looked up. The wound on his chest had almost healed thanks to the potion and his strong vitality. When he tried to stand up, he also pulled Lilith up with him.
"I don't have H001 here, but I know there's one in the basement of the school history museum. Even Xie Huan didn't know about it. I only got this information after donating 800 million star coins."
Lilith's mouth twitched. She only had a few thousand star coins left in her brain, and she had to save money. She didn't expect Fu Sui to spend 800 million at once. She felt a little jealous of the rich.
"Without further delay, let's go now."
"No, you can't get in. The display room contains precious antiques. You have to use the principal's iris to identify and open it. It's bulletproof to the highest standard. Even if I use a one-ton H012 bomb, I can't blow it open."
If she couldn't sneak in, could she only kidnap the principal? Lilith seriously considered this possibility, but she quickly dismissed it.
She had seen the principal at the exchange meeting. He was accompanied by a dozen S-class sentries. Her half-baked ability to confuse people was not sure if she could make them lose their focus for even a second. She was discovered before she could even get close.
"Don't keep me in suspense. Since you've brought it up, you must have a solution, right?"
"That's right. Such an important item needs to be inspected and notarized at the end of every month. The principal will pre-check it a day in advance, around 10 pm. That's our chance."
"So, tonight at ten o'clock?"
"yes."
There were only two hours, which was too rushed. If the principal had not gone to the showroom, if they had not successfully seen H001, they would not have known what the third wire that needed to be cut was.
The most important thing is how to sneak in. Lilith doesn't think the principal will not notice the person following behind him.
Then Lilith could only take her chances and hope that the vague heaven would bless her.
But we have come this far, only one step left, no matter how dangerous it is, we must do it.
"good."
It was too late. By the time Lilith helped Shen Jiaxu heal his spiritual sea, it was almost dawn.
She lay down on the sofa, pressing her heart, unable to sleep. In front of her eyes was a huge red countdown. No matter where her pupils moved, the constantly changing numbers were attached to her irises, like the most malicious reminder.
"Don't worry, stay calm, the worst that can happen is death."
She told herself in her heart, and slowly closed her eyes. In her mind, Arnold's disgusting face appeared again.
His contemptuous look had been branded in her memory and could not be erased. She had never hated someone so deeply as she did at that moment.
"Buzz..."
The optical brain vibrated, and Claire's avatar on the Replica account was jumping.
[Sir Lilith, Lord Arnold is very concerned about your progress.]
What progress?
Death progress? Lilith found it a little funny.
Then, Claire sent another message.
The underground auction house has been a bit chaotic lately. A stray dog from somewhere has messed things up. Lord Arnold is furious. He hopes you'll join the marching army as soon as possible.
But he clearly knew that Lilith's death date was tonight, so asking about her progress was fake. He probably wanted to ask her what she was doing recently and who she was with.
That's a pity.
Lilith responded indifferently. Seeing that she couldn't get anything out of him, she simply gave up. The screen went out and she exhaled deeply.
All the things piled up until one day, her brain was about to explode. The bomb, H001, the showroom, the principal, Fu Sui, these things occupied all her consciousness.
Success or failure depends on this one move.
Lilith went to class as usual, and during the class she met the heroine whom she hadn't seen for a long time. Alice was surrounded by people and wanted to say hello to her, but Lilith just turned her head away coldly. A look of hurt appeared in the other party's eyes.
There was no way. Now when she saw Alice, she would be reminded of the fact that she was a "fake". The unavoidable anger made her feel that she was about to become unrecognizable.
"Teacher, I won't give you extra lessons today."
"Shen Jiaxu, the healing is mostly complete. You should be able to handle the rest on your own, or ask for help from other guides. There's no rush. Just wait until after midnight, if I'm still free."
Then, she sent messages to Qi Hanxing and Si Jue respectively, saying that she was still taking classes with Xie Huan and they didn't need to wait for her.
After everything was notified, the night had already darkened. When the hour hand pointed to nine, Fu Sui emerged from behind the thorn bushes, holding something that looked like a rag in his hand.
"I'm almost dead from exhaustion. Here, wait a little longer. When the time is almost up, put this on and go in. This is the latest invention of the Imperial Research Institute, a test piece of optical camouflage."
Lilith looked up at Fu Sui, who was smiling evilly.
